Episode Notes: 

Have you noticed that regardless of where you work, there is always that one, maybe two individuals that always seem to be just killing it?... You know exactly who I’m talking about, the top performers making all the coin, right?

Like most, do you just assume they must be smarter, better educated, more gifted than the rest of us or just plain lucky? … or could it be something completely different?

What if the real difference maker has nothing to do with education, where you’re from, or just plain luck…. What if it was as simple as CHOOSING to be excellent at what you do?

This week, I’m sharing a message from Brian Tracy, that perfectly illustrates the many benefits of choosing excellence over mediocracy… choosing to be the best at what you do, and the incredible financial advantages that come with it as well!

Episode Notes: 

For this episode, I wanted to share a message I recently listened to, from one of my favorite speakers, that I thought would be very helpful to anyone that listens, anyone that is a “leader”, just like you. 

What’s that you say, you’re NOT a leader?... you sure about that?

If you’re listening to this podcast, you are absolutely a leader… you don’t have to own a business or head-up a division of someone’s company to be a leader…  you just to have someone that looks up to you, asks for your input, is on a team with you, is your spouse, your partner, your children… whether you believe it or not, they look to you as a “leader”.

This week, America’s foremost authority on success, world-renowned business philosopher and recognized legend in the fields of motivation and personal achievement, Jim Rohn, shares some of his best tips on the two things all leaders need to succeed, business skills & life skills.

Episode Notes: 

Is your paint department struggling with constant dirt issues, excessive rub work and costly redos every week?

Do the delays in production due to lack of color-matching BEFORE the car hits the booth, having you see multiple shades of red?

Is it possible the only thing creating the bottleneck in your paint shop, is really just a lack of professional training?

This week, my interview with PPG’s “Instructor of the Year”, Jeff Matauch, reveals not only some of most common paint-shop pains that plaque many shops & the time-tested, common-sense solutions to prevent that costly rework… but also Jeff’s journey from model-car building teen, to, award-winning instructor and show car builder!

Episode Notes: 

Has the unusual non-stop overload of work streaming into your shop this year, got you stressed out to the max?

Are the constant shortages of available labor, parts & materials in our new post-pandemic life, taking all the excitement out of being “busy” again?  

Although we always wish to have more work, is the never-ending pressure, physical & mental fatigue of this chaotic pace, have you wishing the “hamster wheel” would slow down just a bit?... wishing you could just catch your breath?... wishing you could take a break?

This week, as over half of the year has blown past us at breakneck speed, and Summer starts its inevitable wind-down, I thought it would be a good time to share an episode from last year, before a metaphorical, financial & physical “winter” is upon us.

Last years’ Episode #37 was a message of the need for all of us to take a well-deserved, mental & physical break. Once again, we’ve been through some extraordinary times, brand new challenges that have many of us stretched to the snapping point… this message bears repeating… do yourself & the rest of the world a favor… give yourself a break before it’s too late!

 You’ve earned it… you deserve it… and you won’t regret it!

Episode Notes: 

Want to improve employee retention in your automotive repair business? This week I'm sharing the solution so that you can achieve that goal. In this episode, we’ll cover: 

1. The challenges faced by shop owners in finding and retaining employees
 2. The importance of understanding generational differences when it comes to attracting and retaining employees
 3. The need for a culture shift in the collision repair industry to accommodate the changing workforce
 
 "Your people are your business's greatest asset."

Being in the collision repair industry for over four decades, and I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. In the past, shops didn't really value their technicians - they were just seen as replaceable parts in the process. But as car technology has become more complex, the talent level required to do the work has increased drastically. With the baby boomer generation aging out, shops are struggling to find qualified technicians. I do see some glimmers of hope on the horizon, though, some shops are starting to change their view of employees and realize that they play a vital role in the success of the business.

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. The challenges faced by shop owners in finding and retaining employees
2. The importance of understanding generational differences when it comes to attracting and retaining employees
3. The need for a culture shift in the collision repair industry to accommodate the changing workforce

Episode Notes: 

Ever experience that feeling of satisfaction you get when you do one more of something?

Last day of the month, goal has been met & you close one more sale…

Doing a workout, you finish a set & do one more rep… 1 more minute on the treadmill…

Or, thinking of quitting on your job, your relationship, your diet and you don’t for just one more day?

This week, I’m sharing a clip from Ed Mylett, Ed is a motivational speaker, author, and entrepreneur. He is the author of the epic new book "The Power of One More" and has been featured on several podcasts and interviews.

I bought this book recently and I'm really enjoying the great lessons it contains (and it's easy to read for us "well-seasoned" folks!)

 In this episode, you will learn the following:
 1. Why Ed Mylett believes that 'one more' is so important in your life
 2. How Ed developed the skills he has today
 3. What the 'one more try' chapter in Ed 's book is about

Episode Notes: 

This week I’m doing something a little different, I was recently asked to be a guest on a fellow podcasters show… somebody else from within our industry that is spending some of her valuable time, sharing her expertise, as well as what she can learn from others, back with those in the service industries she serves.

Rachel James has a successful financial services company, that specializes in helping those in the collision and auto repair industry. Rachel has a great background that started with being a wrench, moved up to service advisor and ended up at PPG in several key roles over her time there, before starting her own company, Northwestern Mutual. 

Rachel reached out to me after connecting at a recent conference and asked if she could interview me for her podcast, The Entrepreneurs Club, where we talked about several things, but really focused on the power of effective communications
